Dolce & Gabbana

If we tell you that houndstooth is a fall favourite, we know you’re going to frown at us thinking that’s no news’. Honestly, houndstooth is as common a print for this season as florals are to summer. In fact, fashion designers across the globe ensured that this print made an appearance on the runways for their fall/winter collections. While it looked like design label Chanel paid tribute to iconic styles of Jackie Kennedy through their houndstooth outfits, Prabal Gurung kept it modern by pairing sheer-detailed tops featuring power shoulders with the comfortable paper-bag waist houndstooth trousers. Gucci used the print for a belted jumpsuit piece and Dolce & Gabbana carried out a lovely pairing of a houndstooth top with a skirt in the similar print.

While more often than not, houndstooth is monochromatic as far as hues go, coloured variations of this print have been seen on outfits too. Giving the temperature in the city has dropped considerably; we suggest you try this print sooner than later. Wondering how to incorporate houndstooth in your look? Read on

Mix it just right

Trying the co-ordinated look with this print is the easiest way to team it up. You can work the print on a pantsuit or even team up a houndstooth top with a skirt in the similar-print.

Boardroom perfect

Since it’s not as loud as florals, houndstooth is perfect for your nine-to-five outfit. Wear a houndstooth blazer with a black shirt and trouser. If not, you can also team a paper-bag waist houndstooth trouser with a basic white shirt. Add a pair of coloured pumps to this look, or you can also wear coloured sneakers if you’re part of an easygoing office.

Accessorise with ease

If you do not intend to wear a head-to-toe outfit in the print, we suggest you stick to accessories in houndstooth instead. You can pair a single-hued knit dress with a houndstooth belt, or just add a pair of houndstooth pumps to a pair of black jeans and a mustard sweater. The accessory can help build contrast when teamed up with a pop coloured outfit.
